Dangerous Coats
by Sharon Owens
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To carry sedition
Which means unrest
To you and me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Empathy
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Make pockets & sedition
Since Audrey is offline for a while, we need a new prompt for the second half of the year. Nann had a great suggestion: Dangerous Coats using the poem above.
Here's what else she had to say.
If you've been watching the delightful show Elsbeth -- her last name is Tascioni. One article I read pointed out that that's a variant of the Italian word for pockets. (Tasca ; la taschino = breast pocket.)
BTW, there is a really good book about pockets. https://www.amazon.
Coats or pockets. Fairness or understanding. How would you interpret this poem?
Who else is in?

I love this idea! I have been thinking about how to add secret messages to,y quilts and stitching projects. I would love to join this adventure.
